The Whigs opposed the war with Mexico primarily because they believed it was driven by a desire for territorial expansion, which they viewed as an attempt to extend slavery into new territories. They argued that the conflict was unjust and fueled by a desire for land rather than legitimate grievances. Additionally, many Whigs were concerned about the war's potential to lead to increased sectional tensions between the North and South. Their opposition was rooted in both moral principles and political strategy, reflecting their broader concerns about the future of the Union.
